This weeks challenge song. Another one with some funky timing, and picky note detection. I do kinda like the song, however.

I just put some SD Slash pups in this SG, and it needed some playin'.

It had me a little worried, but I figured he meant the music room.

 

[jeffjr464]

yup, looks like you have a pretty cool playroom

I hope bass isn't expensive. They are adding it on game discs in October, but if it's the same price, why would we have to pay for DLC, when they get it for the same price as retail, or perhaps cheaper.

 

[rcole_sooner]

I've heard the bass DLC will be $30, in Sep. You will get bass for all the on disc songs, plus any DLC songs you currently have. I guess songs will include both bass and guitar in the future.

A bass disc will be released in Oct.

Time for my weekly Rocksmith video.

This is a fun and challenging song, Under Cover of Darkness, by The Strokes.

I took a couple of weeks away from the guitar due to my right thumb hurting - I blame the LP's poor upper fret access. I went to play a bit yesterday, and now the game's not accepting any sound from my bridge pickup. I hear the sound coming through the TV. Or rather, I hear the note for a second, then it cuts out. On every note, which is just strange. But the game doesn't acknowledge even that. Neck pickup registers OK. Went and plugged into my amp to make sure that it wasn't a problem on the guitar. Everythings fine, so I just played there instead.

So the problem is either an odd glitch on starting up the game, or my cable is starting to give out. I was considering pickup up the Queen song pack too, but if it's the cable (which has been sitting neatly in my guitar case for the past 3 weeks), I'm not going to buy a new one for $30 if they break this easily. I'll just trade the game in.

I played this for a bit on my wifes Laguna- because its surprisingly well balanced- one problem I did note is at some point, it stopped hearing my notes. As it turned out, Laguna had put the neck pickup volume knob too close to the strings and I was unknowingly hitting it and turning it down. Out of frustration, I went back to the LP. I did win a 1958 Epi Explorer from Rocksmith, and Im waiting for it to arrive - Lookin forward to seeing if its playability is any better.

So im obviously hella late on this but i just bought it. Ive been playing for 20 years now and im still kind of a hack.... Does anyone think this will truly teach me something and help build accuracy and speed?

Without a doubt!

Yep, the RS cables seem to get "broken" very easily.

I don't even "use" the cable, per se. I just have it tucked in behind a patch panel. I have a "real" guitar cable run to the patch panel. That way there is no stress on the RS cable. You could also use a tuner pedal or such, the same way.

This is the xbox plugged into the patch panel, with a guitar cable connected to the patch panel.

I like that- quite a setup. I might have to come up with something like that.

Wow, awsomenous at the least! I'm suprised you havent gotten an offer from the makers to go on a promo tour or something. Seriously.
I bought the game when it first came out and think highly of its ability to help improve my skills, or whatever skills are called when they're the infant stage.

I havent been playing the game at all since I started lessons a few months ago, after watching your video I am definately inspired to start using/playing the game again and have time off today to do it with!!

I dont really care for that song, or learning it but am impressed by the skills it must require to play it, and your ability to play it so well!

Thanks!

If it weren't for my lack of coding skills, I would have hacked the xbox version to run on PC by now.
